EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled ""Honi Soit qui Mal y Pense" (colour litho)" captures a humorous and satirical illustration by Arthur Moreland. The artwork is part of the Private Collection and was created for the book "Humors of History" in 1905. In this comical piece, Moreland explores the origins of England's prestigious Order of the Garter, established by King Edward III. The phrase ""Honi Soit qui Mal y Pense"" (Evil be to him who evil thinks) is associated with this order. However, Moreland takes a lighthearted approach as he depicts a scene filled with visual puns and clever jokes. The cartoon-style drawing showcases an English king wearing the garter around his leg while surrounded by German characters. This playful satire pokes fun at Germany and its culture through exaggerated stereotypes and caricatures. It offers a scathing commentary on European politics during that time. Through vibrant colors and intricate details, Moreland's artwork invites viewers to appreciate both its humor and historical context. It serves as a reminder that even serious matters can be approached with light-heartedness, allowing us to find amusement in unexpected places. This print from Fine Art Finder provides an intriguing glimpse into Arthur Moreland's talent for blending history, comedy, and visual storytelling in one delightful composition.
